holla ...pls I would like to ask if computer science is been offered at bsc level in Estonia and if d tuition fee is been waived ...wanna study in English too...thanks

I am not so sure about other schools, but for University of Tartu there is this BSc English program called, Information Technology: it's very broad program that lays foundation for many parts of Computer science oriented career path: including software engineering, data scientist, system administraton etc.. And this program has its own tuition waver but it think it is very few as opposed to masters program in the like of Computer science, software engineering etc

My people, please on the TRP form, what am i going to put as Estonia personal code.

Your personal code for you as an alien (to estonia) is your birth date, except there is a change. But don't worry, anything that is unclear to you, you may leave them till you get to the Estonian embassy.... They will guide you on what you need to put...don't worry.

Jst a little deviation from this visa application issues, after my li2 research today, got to know that majority of international students on completion of their program must leave Estonia. Mostly Russians, Finns are international students able to secure jobs on completion of their programm, coz they could speak estonia.

To the guys already there wt experience, hw were u able to secure a job in order to secure resident permit, what's the probability like?

Estonia sells IT and it's one of the MAJOR areas of getting job, in fact they need experienced international people; Estonian market is first for Estonian, then for others...and anyone can stay if they get a job. Search for "study in Estonia" and "work in Estonia" for better info.

Please how do i get the confirmation e-mail from UT to indian embassy

Send the international students coordinator a mail that the India embassy requires a confirmation document/mail in order to process your visa, because you will be coming to study in Estonia. I think it should still be Kaija Murasov. kaija.murasov@ut.ee and that she should copy you in the replies. I think India embassy in Lagos email is: consvisa@hcilagos.org, I m not sure this has not been changed but this was where I told her to send to.

Everybody dey on sabatical leave, it is well

how is it going?

mystica773:
Pls after getting the visa for entry into Estonia,how many years is given on Resident permit? and is it possible to visit other schengen countries? thanks

Resident permit is one year, and its renewed if the need be. The renewal also is for a year (at least based on my understanding about Temporary Resident Permit for study purpose). Estonia is part of the Schengen territory so its possible to visit other places.

jeffoe:
@bolded, what would that mean

the bolded part is just one of the required documents that may be necessary in the whole process especially if you want to go by Entry Visa through India for example (with the purpose of going to Estonian Embassy for application)

Hello everyone,

I came across this forum while searching on study in Estonia for my younger one. I have more than enuf info on how to apply and schools to apply to but where I seem not to find info is the visa application requirements and process if one gets the admission. I have read thru some pages here and I saw people talking abt India route or UK route and it left me confused

Plz I av the following questions.
1) after securing admission, what are the process and requirements for securing an estonia visa.
2) how do dey require proof of funding to be shown cus I'm presently in Germany and I know Germany requires something called a blocked acct before one can get a study visa
3) what are the prospect for part time jobs while studying? Are they available or not?
4) since the official language is Estonian, can an English speaker survive before he gets a hang of the language.

Thanks as I look forward to your answers

1] I think the first thing is to get the admission, then as you may have read on these thread since the Estonian embassy is not in Nigeria (if you are from Nigeria) then you have to go to the nearest one. I am not sure but thinking it might be an advantage for you to help your younger ones to Germany if possible to do the Visa thing there.

admission -> admission letter, confirmation from school, required docs for visa -> apply for visa and trp -> come to estonia.

Generally, I think the process of getting visa by Study purpose requires stody dcoumets (admission letter and co) then other documents regarding funds, confirmation, flights, health insurances, etc... this may vary with different embassies though

2] Yes, they will require proof of fund and I believe a statement of account could suffice in this case except there is another development
3] There are prospect of part time job, to my own understanding, even full time job if you get one. I think there is a better chance with IT jobs since this is what Estonia sells. I cannot assure a 100 percent correctness in this, since I only know a little. My bosses here can speak better on this.
4] yes, the official language is NOT English but yes, people are surviving and by my experience it is possible, just that some jobs might be difficult to get because of the language, however language is one of those issues, and may not necessarily be a BIG problem (depends)

Oga Tobi, you have been so helpful both on this thread and outside.. You are such a role model for others - very humble, faithful and straightforward. I pray others should emulate your kind of charisma. I cherish your kind of person, you are truly a servant of God.

How is Tartu bro? Stay blessed !!!

Thanks but let the econmium be to God. You know there are great men on this thread that has ever helped me without knowing them. These guys teaches me that helping somebody is both a personal responsibility and a completeness of life. The likes of Uzhi, naira space, seanT, bolig, and many many. I have learnt that lesson that I am helped in order to be of help to others. Lifted to lift others... I hope you guys would do the same investment.

Hello sir tobi, I need help on this Estonia study stuff, can you help me out pls

Sure I can help as much as I can

hybeenoni:
@ uzhi, From the university website, I was referred to check the deparment and mail them to know how to go about the tuition waiver scholarship, hv been unable to do that since.

I wish I could get in touch with a fellow in that school to guide me on how to go abt this challenge. Could u plz assist?

Hey, just go the University website and find the department link, after that surely you should get a reliable contact address there. Don't panic, communicating by email with an official in university of Tartu to my experience is somewhat reliable and I can at least assure you to an extent that they would b glad to assist you. Take the step and don't delay.

You can also communicate with the international student coordinator Kaija Murasov (please find her contact on the University's website) for assistance.

hybeenoni:
Xup guys have been following ur responses and must admit u hv rilli been helpful to advice seekers.

I wish to apply to university of Tartu for MSc Financial Mathematics, do we have anybody here studying there? If yes, hw easy is it to work part time and likely cost of living.
Tnx

I study there, and truthfully nothing is easy but possible. But of course you are allowed to work for whatever hour, only that your study must be stable. It's actually Estonian migration stuff.

Please share any information you have that would help others on this thread. And also be eager to share your trouble here about the whole process. I am speaking from experience on this thread. Let's try not to move so quickly away from this thread into private discussions and if we do we should try as much as possible to come here to help and be helped. Godspeed with your process... See you in Estonia

omitobi:
For the insurance accepted... I got it from http://www.ut.ee/en/prospective-students/health-insurance

I quote, so Swisscare still accepted, at least University of Tartu confirms this.

hakeembee:

hakeembee:
I was given 12th of Aug for appointment in Indian Embassy, My Uni wants me to arrive, 23rd Aug. This might not be nice, i hope i can go there tomorrow for resheduling

I hope you did reschedule?

Uganda1:
Hey Omitobi..Not I havent travelled to india..will be heading to india on 31 july..
Then can carry on with Estonia visa& TRP process

So good. I sent you a mail from here. A friend from Uganda would like to connect with you and help you in anyway he could.
BTW, congrats on successful India route... Get copies of your documents with you for both visa and trp.

papyskinsy:
pls.. i ned yur epp.. am admitted into indian uni .. fr my masters.. do i also nid to do waec verification at abj.?

You might actually not need waec verification as this is masters. Possibly just your BSc cert and admission letter or confirmation.

icotfodile:
I intended on going through turkey but I had already renewed my UK visa and as such booked an appointment at the Estonian embassy in London. I will still have to come back to nigeria before proceeding to estonia in august.

I still do want to know the best option to go with for the health insurance as I am short of time for the 4th of July.

I think you should send the Estonian embassy in wherever you are going a mail about it. I also got the info that Swisscare is no longer accepted but I have not verified how true that is and if it's not only because of those renewing their trp. But like I said just try to phone, mail or whatever just contact them for clarity.

hustla:
Do they get jobs easily? What's the pay per hour? How's the summer like? How many hours do you get to work per hour for students?
How's it easy combining the jobs and school? What of staying back after schooling?

Those are the questions that I haven't seen thoroughly discussed on this thread. Its not enough just packing up and traveling somewhere else, some salient points have to be discussed

For IT related jobs, there are virtually new job posts everyday on cv.ee at least. And of course as at this year, the minimum salary is around 600 Euro. Also as a student there is no restrictions on the number of hours to work, and also no special visa for that - the trp or the visa covers that. Only that your study should be kept consistent and stable.

You can Google "study in estonia" and "work in estonia" for very good and reliable information about it.

The summer is like Nigeria with nice warm sun that would be missed in the cold winter. But for now we from Africa are enjoying the sun, and the coolness of the consistent rainfall. This is the best time of the year

dreamchaser90:
Please, those student who are already in Estonia, how are you guys coping with the language barrier and jobs?

In Tartu, most people are either students or connected so at least they can speak to a minimum. I cant say much about Tallinn since it's bigger, but of course since you would be staying around students you don't have problems. Only maybe you would learn some little Estonian that can help you move around. And good to know that African students are making great impact and producing good feelings in Estonia with the AASE.

For Job, there is especially IT jobs, but also many other jobs but those in tallinn can explain better. Don't worry, just come!

yoyolagos:
Pls guys!

Don't go to Indian embassy on your own! Try to arrange with trusted agent! Any small error or mistake na NO! Indian embassy don dey deny visa anyhow now. No more date reschedule.

Based on personal experience.

I am talking to Wakanow for assistance. I will update u guys on it.

Pls! The extra kobo wey u go give person to assist I with this will not make ur less wise! Give wat belong to Caesar to Caesar oooo.

be careful with agents too... because you could save yourself hundreds of thousand with a simple following of protocols than using an agent

Uganda1:
Indian Visa done....will be in india 3rd...August..
Anybody with similar schedule. .?

Hey how is it with your visa and progress to estonia...? going well?

@All I dont know if somethings have changed about the stress-free application of visa at Indian embassy in lagos, but I still believe Egyptian route is really one of the most UNPROMISING route except you are so sure about this.... I came through India, and many others even though we had to go by many kilometers but whats the essence of Egypt in africa if its a trouble to get their visa....

As for Schenghen I would still say, you have to be sure about it... see its just two months till resumption, don't waste your time....get right info, and if you would ask me what place you should try... I will only tell you of the place I came through, ITS INDIA...

-- See you in estonia....

tobzzy:
I emailed their embassy sometimes ago and it was a no.. I even tried Egypt also but I got same response

Go through India. It's hassle free

tlk2Prince:
To the gurus in the house, i greet you all for your tireless effort to keep this thread updated and valid information.

India...
